Dreams as Guidance to Life's Questions by Kevin Todeschi

 
Here's my dream -
I am a 22-year-old woman who has been in a relationship with my boyfriend for about a year. I know he is "the one." As background, when I was 15 I had an abortion and the father of the baby disregarded me and hurt me so deeply. Now I keep having this dream whereby I'm with my current boyfriend and were really happy and then he goes and leaves me for someone else. The odd thing about it is when I look closely at him he's not my current boyfriend but the boy who got me pregnant when I was 15. As soon as I see it's him I start to feel sick and this big ball of hate starts to rise inside me. When I wake from this dream I often still feel sick. Am I scared of getting hurt again do you think? Or maybe I haven't completely dealt with my past yet? –
Dear Dreamer, Unfortunately, the dream could be about one of two completely different meanings. If the dream is metaphorical, it might be suggesting that part of you is extremely cautious about completely opening up in this relationship because of what happened when you were much younger. On the other hand, if the dream is literal, it could be suggesting that the potential is there for you to experience the same kind of hurt that you did when you were fifteen. In either event, you might wish to consider some personal therapy. If the metaphorical situation is most true, it suggests that you need to revisit this period in your life and bring about healing so that you can have a relationship in the present. If the literal is more true you need to find out what you might be doing to repeatedly draw "rejection" into your life experience. Good luck to you. –

Here's my dream...
I dream that I am in the same room with my ex husband and the whole dream I wonder why I can not get him to love me or give me any attention. I loved him very much but left him because he got addicted to looking at porn on the Internet. I am in a new relationship now and my boyfriend is very loving and never gives me any reason to doubt his love for me. Does this dream just mean I want my ex husband to love me like I wish he would of when we were married?
Dear Dreamer,
Unless you have an ongoing connection with this individual (such as through a child), the dream is probably not about your ex. It could be associated with insecurities in relationships or feeling somehow "neglected." For example, if your current boyfriend has an interest that takes his attention away from you, that could create the dream. Another strong possibility suggested by the imagery is that YOU have a hard time loving and paying attention to yourself, such as might be the case with low self-esteem. Overall, the dream seems to be about personal insecurities that prevent you from a totally satisfying relationship.

Here's my dream...
My boyfriend did not invite me to one of his family events although he asked me to help him pick out a present for the person of honor. He did not say why I was not invited though I suspected that it had something to do with travel arrangements. The morning before he left for the party I dreamed that I went to the party. There was a strange woman wearing an orange flower print dress. She was very angry with me and screamed that she was his girlfriend and I should leave. I do not know her. Everyone else is a family member I have met previously. The dream made me feel betrayed by my boyfriend and his family. When I spoke to him later he said he had a great time and the present I chose went over well. He added that we should go visit the family member who held the party at a later date. Please help me understand this dream. Thank you in advance for the insight you offer.
Dear Dreamer,
In all likelihood, the strange woman represents something from his past that he doesn't yet want to share with you. Although it could be a former relationship, it may be an interest or a situation that he doesn't know how or doesn't want to explain.

Here's my dream...
I would really like to get my dream interpreted. I think of this dream often and am curious as to what you think. In the dream, I was kneeling down on the floor with my face in my hands. I believe I was crying. I then felt this hand on the back of my head and heard the words "I am with you". I thought to myself who is that and turned to see who it was. There on the other side of the room was a man going up an escalator facing me. The room was white and this man was in a white robe and looked exactly like the pictures of Jesus. He was at a distance so I didn't get to see him up close. I said that is Jesus and immediately woke up. At that time I was not a religious person and had never even read the bible. I did a search on the net on what he had said to me and found that Jesus said something very similar, "Lo, I am with you always." Do you think this was an actual visit or does it have another meaning?
Dear Dreamer,
In all likelihood it was an actual visit encouraging you to become more interested in things of a spiritual nature. Actually, the Edgar Cayce material suggests that Jesus is very much interested in people and their soul growth regardless of their religion or lack of religion. If you would like to read additional examples of people's experience with a visitation from Jesus, let me recommend the book, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, by G. Scott Sparrow. If you are interested in the Cayce information on Soul Growth, let me recommend EDGAR CAYCE ON SOUL GROWTH, by Kevin Todeschi.

Here's my dream...
My husband and I have had a lot of problems lately. He is not from this country. I am USA and he and I have been together for almost 3 years. He has problems with responsibility and because I have been out of work for a few months (almost have a real good job in hospital and an associate's degree in Healthcare admin), He says he will not pay any more bills and he doesn't care about the bills. Now after fighting about all of this many times (almost physically), he had a dream one morning after he had slept on the couch 2 nights in a row and I one night. The dream was that I died and He had no time to tell me how much he really loves me, and then he kept going to the church to try to talk to me but I wasn't there. He woke up with his heart pounding and he was balling. Really crying forcefully. I've never seen him like this before. Just to tell you that the last 2 nights going on three I have slept at my mother's house because he started again just because I showed him that I will now be paying half of all the bills and he can save money. He blew up and that was it. I left and I don't know what to think. Does he really love me a lot because he can dream about me like that or is the dream to tell him he is going to lose me because now I am not there? Please help.
Dear Dreamer,
As you have surmised, the dream is not about a literal death but instead a symbolic one. Essentially, the dream is presenting his fear that he has lost you and the relationship - whether or not this is the actual outcome can only be determined by the two of you. One thing you might try is to write out the question, "What can I do to help heal my relationship with ______________?" Each read that before going to bed. Recall your dreams the next morning, and then share with each other what happened. Good luck to you.

Here's my dream...
PLEASE HELP ME. I've had this dream three times in one day. I am only 16 years old and my boyfriend's father is very verbally abusive to him. He calls him stupid, jerk, loser, failure, screams at him constantly for no reason, and takes all of his anger out on him. I've never actually experienced being right there when his father yells at him until a few nights ago. His father screamed at him for over an hour, calling him every horrible name you can think of but there was no reason behind his yelling. About four days after that night, I had a terrible dream that I was going to my boyfriend's house but when I got there no one answered the door. I looked into the house from a window and saw his dad sitting in a chair with a knife in him. I began to cry uncontrollably and scream for help. When no one came to help me, I went to the side of the house to a door. The door went into the basement where my boyfriends room is, and when I walked in I saw my boyfriend lying on the ground in a puddle of blood. He wasn't dead, but he had been shot multiple times and was unconscious. When I saw him lying there I began to panic even more than I already was, so I called his mom. She rushed home and we took my boyfriend to the hospital, however her husband was dead...My boyfriend finally woke up and he said that the reason all of this happened was because him and his dad, who is now dead, got into a fight that became very violent. He said that his dad was screaming at him and when my boyfriend began to walk downstairs while his dad was talking, his dad got even more mad. So, his dad went over to his hunting guns, grabbed one, followed my boyfriend downstairs, and shot him multiple times because my boyfriend ignored him when he was speaking. Although he was very hurt, my boyfriend managed to get himself up and grabbed a knife and stabbed his father. When he did this he was very, very angry but hurt and confused at the same time by his fathers first reaction. When I woke up from the dream, I was crying hysterically and could remember the dream perfectly, it was like seeing a movie. I had the dream again when I took a nap later that day, and again when I went to bed that night. The dream played over and over again in my mind the whole day after I had it the first time. What does this dream mean?
Dear Dreamer,
You need to help your boyfriend find someone he can talk to (for example, a school counselor, a minister, your parents, someone who can help him). The dreams suggest that at the very least this relationship between he and his father is severely injuring both of them, and it could suggest real danger in terms of what might happen when and if the two of them get really angry. If the situation is as you describe, your boyfriend lives in an abusive situation and really needs to get help. He may also need to change his living situation. You can also help him by praying for him and the situation. May God bless you all.

Here's my dream...
I couldn't find anything on your site that seemed to relate to these dreams I have regularly - most similar to lost, perhaps, but I am not really lost. I am a 41-year-old single mom involved in an exclusive long-distance relationship for almost 5 years. Many complicated reasons why we can't move, including custody issues, etc. Other than the distance, it is a very good relationship, and has been improving if anything. But I am always having these dreams that we are trying to find each other, but things keep getting messed up - plane delays, timing issues, running into other friends but still not finding him. Last night we were in some sort of huge train depot that was more like an airport, and there had been some sort of natural disaster but our cell phones were working, and we were trying to catch up to each other so we could get on the train. Right before I woke up he was on the train and saving me a seat, but we were afraid I wouldn't make it. Because I had to wake up to go to the bathroom, I don't know if I made it or not. These dreams happen whether it is a weekend we are together or not, and they leave me feeling very stressed out. Any ideas on what is causing them or how to solve them?
Dear Dreamer,
The dreams suggest that in spite of the positive aspects of your relationship, many things seem to get in the way of you having a relationship together - e.g. work, family issues, time schedules, personal life issues, etc. Overall, the dreams are simply about how many other things in your lives are taking precedence over having a relationship.

Here's my dream...
I am a 15-year-old boy and I am not gay. However I have recently come back off holiday and this boy that I met is in my dream. In my dream we have frantic gay sex and he lives very close to me and these dreams are starting to scare me, as I am not gay, as I have already said. Please help me. Thank you.
Dear Dreamer,
The Edgar Cayce material suggests that souls are attracted to parents before they decide to incarnate into the earth, and oftentimes the parents can see a preview of their child before birth. Therefore, I think you saw your daughter. Let me suggest reading two books: BORN TO LIVE, by Dr. Gladys McGarey, and EDGAR CAYCE ON SOUL MATES, by Kevin Todeschi. The first will give you a selection of other stories, like yours, and the second will discuss how souls keep getting drawn together over time. Good luck to you.

Here's my dream...
I had dream about my very first crush. I work at a public library and he came in with little girl. He saw me and I saw him. We smiled at each other introduced each other to the little girl. I showed him the children's side and I told him if he wanted to talk after he was done at the children's side to come over to the adult side to talk. I lead my cart of books to the other side and was just thinking to myself that he isn't going to come. But about 15 minutes later he came over to the books side. As I was shelving books we talked. Then I decided to take my break and we talked for a while. He asked me what days I worked and how long. And when he was leaving he hugged me. What does this mean? I have been having this dream for a long time now.
Dear Dreamer,
If the dream is literal, it suggests a reconnection with a relationship from the past. It could be literally with this person, or (if you are marred, for example) a reconnection with your spouse, as you felt when you first met. If it is metaphorical, it suggests that the time has come for you "move" beyond childish or adolescent relationships into more of an adult relationship. In either event, it appears as through you are going to have a much more fulfilling relationship life in the near future.

Here's my dream...
My husband and I would have been married 55 years but just short of that he died. He worshiped me and our marriage was good. However, at one point I had an affair that he knew nothing about. I recently had a dream that he was alive and was leaving me to be with another woman. No matter how much I pleaded, he still left. Is he telling me that he now knows of my indiscretion and wants to punish me or is it my guilty conscience? Not knowing is driving me mad.
Dear Dreamer,
In all likelihood the dream is simply about the fact that your husband is now involved in his own journey and process on the other side. The "other woman" is the experience he is involved with that is now consuming his time and focus. Probably, shortly after his death he remained around and near you but now he has moved on to other realms. If you would like to read more about what those realms may entail, I would recommend TESTIMONY OF LIGHT, by Helen Greaves. Good luck to you.

Here's my dream...
In the dream I went to a college campus and walked among students and faculty members. I climbed a stairway with both students and faculty. When I came down the other side of the stairs I was on military base with drill sergeants and platoon sergeants. I blended in with them and began talking and laughing with them. Suddenly my wife appeared and was very angry with me and asked what I was doing there while all the time I was thinking about getting back home to her. Afterwards she stormed out the door jumped in her vehicle and drove off angry. I went to get in my vehicle but I could not find it; it had disappeared. I looked everywhere and then suddenly I was attacked by a bunch of bees and stung repeatedly. I ran and hid but the bees only waited anxiously and patiently for me to come out of hiding to sting me some more. I could not shake them..
Dear Dreamer,
The dream may be indicating that the "drill sergeant" mentality has adversely affected your relationship with your wife. The fact that you "blended in" with them could indicate that this mindset has become more a part of you than you may realize and that the issue is creating a problem between you and your wife. In addition, the dream suggests some question on your part related to "what am I supposed to be doing with my life?" However, rather than following through on figuring out this question, it appears as though you are in some kind of "survival" mode because of problems-issues-even attacks that are coming to you from various directions. If this all sounds like what is going on in your life, you may need to pursue counseling to help with you not being a "drill sergeant" in your relationships. In addition, in terms of the life direction question, let me recommend that you consider taking A.R.E.'s online course, "Discovering Your Mission in Life," which you can find at this link: http://www.edgarcayce.org/free_activities.asp.

Here's my dream...
I have a recurring dream, different scenarios every time, but the same outcome. My husband and I have a great relationship with 3 beautiful daughters but in my dream he is very distant, doesn't want to be with me, loses interest in me and ends up breaking up with me. I had these dreams when I was pregnant with all three of the girls but they have returned, no I'm not pregnant. I always wake up in a bad mood; they really upset me.
Dear Dreamer,
In all likelihood, each time you were pregnant your condition had an impact upon your relationship - whether it was because of your joint emotions, your sex-life, or your personal thoughts and feelings. The dream is essentially a metaphor for there being some kind of a disconnection between the two of you because of events. With this in mind, the dream suggests that something is going on (at home, at work, in your personal lives) that is interfering with the closeness you normally share. You may simply need to sit down and talk to one another about: "What's going on in your life, and how can I help you?" In other words, deal with the issue as a couple rather than as separated individuals. I hope that helps.

Here's my dream...
Dear A.R.E.: I am currently in Iraq. In my dream, me and my wife were somewhere with some friends. I had gone to do something and when I got back I woke her up by saying, "Hey sweetheart," and went to kiss her. She pushed me away and said she wasn't my sweetheart and that I better get away from her before her boyfriend got there. Can you help me?
Dear Dreamer, Although it is possible to dream about someone being interested in another person, in all likelihood the dream may simply reflect some of your own anxieties about being away from home, and your wondering not only about your wife's connection to you but also your connection to her when you get home. Let me suggest that you both pick several nights in a row to try and "meet" in the dream state. It would actually be possible to communicate in consciousness through your dreams. Each of you write down something like, "I would like to dream about my spouse," read it and think about it just before going to bed, and see what happens, comparing notes with each other.

Here's my dream...
In real life, my boyfriend is held in a jail cell right now for domestic violence for hitting me. I feel underappreciated sometimes and hope he will change but last night I had a dream that I went to this big shopping center with a girl friend to buy a clock. I bought the clock and tried to go home but I realized that it wasn't what I wanted so we went back to exchange it, but while I was talking to the clerk, my girl friend disappeared and one of the clerks behind the counter yelled, "Hello, is anyone named _______ here?" and I say, "Yes, that's me..." I walk over to her and she hands me these 2 beautiful rings made of diamonds. I start to break into tears because I am so happy. I turn around and see my boyfriend and he says, "Happy 300th day honey." And then we go down the escalator. I start thinking, "Wow, he's changed a lot; he's so sweet now." What does this dream mean?
Dear Dreamer, I'm certainly not one to encourage individuals to stay in an abusive relationship; however, the dream might suggest that your boyfriend is going to go through some kind of "Time out" period, in which he receives counseling or incarceration or something that helps him become a better person. My sense is that it may be suggesting for you to take a break from the relationship until he gets the help he needs, and if he gets the help you may see some real changes. Good luck to you. –

Here's my dream...
My boyfriend and I have been together for a couple of months and recently he was sent to prison for a mistake he made years ago. Even though I love him it's been really difficult since it is a new relationship. I have NO intentions of leaving him and plan to stick by his side until he gets out. We BOTH keep having this dream where he gets out of prison (he'll be serving 1 year) and he can never find me. It's always different situations (searching for me in NY, at church, going to my parents house, etc.) but he never finds me. What does this mean?
Dear Dreamer, Whether the dream is literal or symbolic, it may simply suggest that both of you are concerned that after a year your lives will have changed so much that neither one of you will be in the same place you are today, and that the certainty of your relationship is questionable. In other words, both of you are concerned about the possibility of staying together over the next year. Just FYI, A.R.E. has a wonderful prison program. We will be happy to send your boyfriend free books while he is in prison. For more information, just email us at:prison@edgarcayce.org.–

Here's my dream...
My husband had a dream that I'm cheating on him and that I'm reuniting with some one whom I know. What is the dream trying to tell my husband, or what is it doing to our relationship because it's been rough for my husband and me lately?
Dear Dreamer, Whether or not this has actually occurred, the dream is suggesting that your husband feels as though your love for him has been replaced by something else. In other words, rather than being focused on your relationship, or your life together, he may feel as if things like your job, other relationships, your children, or your activities may all be taking precedence over your relationship. The "affair" you are having is simply your attention to other things that are important to you. Let me suggest that the two of you pursue counseling together, as a means of helping to decide what you want out of your relationship, life, and each other. May God bless you at this time. –

Here's my dream...
This is my second time submitting this dream but I really would like to know what it means. I am a 24-year-old single woman with no kids. I just completed my last semester of college but I failed a class so I have to take it over again. One night I prayed before I went to bed because I was worried about school and my coworkers and I promised that we would pray for one another and I did and I had this dream. In the dream I stepped off a bus and I was carrying a baby boy; he was my son. The street was familiar because it's the street where my job is located and it is sunny out side it feels like summer. As I stepped off the bus there was a couple who looked to be in there late 50's early sixties standing on the left side of me. As I walked past them the man says aloud "THAT'S A HANDSOME BABY"...the woman chimes in "AND HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION TOO" they simultaneously say "uh huh". I smile and I look in the tinted windows of a clinic that's on the corner and I take a look at myself and the baby's reflection...My shoulder length hair is longer and I feel proud about my thoughts of a beautiful family and I think of the father of the child (who is this new guy I have been seeing). I have light skin and the baby has a dark tan complexion. I feel over whelmed with pride and happiness as I walk forward. I have had a really bad childhood and I am going through therapy to help me and my therapist asks me to tell her about my dreams and I just cant wait to find out what this one means. Please let me know if this dream is confirmation that I will one day have a happy life and family with the man of my dreams and a son I have wished for?
Dear Dreamer, First of all, yes it is possible to have a literal dream about the future. The Edgar Cayce material suggests this occurs because while sleeping the mind sometimes taps into an individual's probable future as it is being pulled together by the Akashic Records. As unusual as this sounds, most people remember an experience when they were in the midst of a conversation and say to themselves, "Wait a minute, I've already had this conversation" - encountering an experience known as déjà vu. In other words, we dream about many of our experiences, conversations and encounters before they happen. Read the book Edgar Cayce on the Akashic Records, by Kevin Todeschi, if you want to understand how this works. Therefore, to answer your question, if the dream is literal, you had a literal glimpse of the future you are currently creating. If the dream is metaphorical, it suggests that you are doing exactly the right things you need to be doing right now, and in time you will have the life you always dreamed of. I hope that helps. –

Here's my dream...
I was involved with someone ten years ago and due to circumstances it was impossible for us to be together. I loved this person very much, but had to walk away from the relationship. I later married someone else and for the six years we've been married I keep having the same dream about this other person. In every dream I'm searching for him and just when we find each other he disappears. I wake up to realize I'm crying in my sleep. Each dream is exactly the same; the only thing that changes is the setting.
Dear Dreamer, One possibility suggested by the dream is that this former relationship now symbolizes the "perfect" relationship at one level. With this in mind, whenever you dream about this person it could simply indicate that you have yet to find the "perfect" relationship with your husband - something that you are still working on. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with this other person, and it doesn't necessarily mean you and your husband will never have the "perfect" relationship. Instead, it suggests that you are still working on your relationship. The next time this dream occurs, see if you can reflect back on the day's events with your husband - was there a misunderstanding or a miscommunication of some kind? After all, relationships are a work in progress. You may also be interested in reading the book Edgar Cayce on Soul Mates, by Kevin Todeschi. Good luck to you!

Here's my dream...
My boyfriend and I are about to be married. His mother told me last night that she dreamed that her son broke up with me and married someone else. I've been dating her son over 3 years and we have lived together for over 2 years. Why did she dream that? I am just wondering as we are getting married in 2 weeks. Can you help?
Dear Dreamer, Although it is possible that you and your boyfriend could break up before the wedding, most often we do not dream for other people. Instead, the dream is probably about something going on in your mother-in-law to be's life and not yours. If you symbolize for her a relationship or a new beginning, then the dream could suggest that her own relationship or her own new beginning (or something she has been involved with for the last 2-3 years) is coming to an end. In other words, the dream is for her not you - you are only symbolic of something going on in her own life. –

Here's my dream...
I have submitted my dream before but after reading the archives I would like to explain my background a little more. The love of my life and my best friend since I was four just left me for the girl he was cheating on me with. We have two beautiful children together that he never sees. I am deeply hurt about the breakup and want to be his friend still but he is being such a jerk making up lies about me and doing anything to hurt me even more. My Dream: He and I were in a car we had when we were together (that car blew up a little while before he left me) our son was in the car too but not our daughter. The field of snow the car was on turned into water and the car began to sink with the three of us in it. We all jumped out and ran away and watched the car sink completely. Then I woke up. I have been a wreck ever since this dream happened. I don't think he cares very much for the girl he's with, and I have always had the feeling we will get back together. He is being such a jerk and not acting like is self. I am so lost please help.
Dear Dreamer, Quite simply, the dream is suggesting that your own life direction (e.g. the car) has become emotionally overwhelmed (e.g. the water) and even sank (could be associated with depression) since this experience. The dream does not indicate whether or not you will get back together, instead it just presents your devastation at this point in time. You might consider asking for a dream about what you and the children should do at this point in time: Write out a question like, "What is best for me and the children at this time? What should we do in connection with my ex? Dream on it for a few nights and see what happens. It could be that the universe has much better plans for you than the "jerk" you've been waiting for. Good luck to the three of you. –

Here's my dream...
I have been divorced from my husband for 7 years. He since has married the woman that he dated before me. I loved my husband very much but left do to his drug and alcohol habits. But for the past 7 years I have not stopped dreaming about him. My dreams are of us wanting to get back together but either his family or his new wife are preventing it from happening. Some are even sexual dreams. I have not remarried nor am I dating anyone but I find when I wake up, I am depressed because I want to be back with him. These dreams need to stop and I cannot seem to get them to stop. Please help if you can. Thanks.
Dear Dreamer, In all likelihood, the dreams are occurring because of some unresolved issues related to your relationship with your husband. Those issues might include such things as regrets (e.g. "I wish I had done..."), anger, and resentment. Undoubtedly you and your husband have been together before and will (in all likelihood) be together again. There are also other individuals with whom you have had past-life relationships. Therefore, I would suggest approaching this issue from two perspectives: 1) Trying to get at the heart of whatever the resolved issue is; and 2) Attempting to discover how you can get on with your life and other possible relationships. For the first issue, counseling may be a possibility. Another possibility may be to "dream on" the issue. In other words, ask yourself for clarity into how you can heal your relationship with your ex-husband. Write down his name and look at it before going to bed. Have as your intent "closure" in this situation, and begin watching your dreams. The theme of the dreams may give you insights into how to heal this situation. In terms of the second issue, let me recommend the book Edgar Cayce on Soul Mates, by Kevin Todeschi. It will give you insights into the entire nature of relationships. Good luck to you! –

Here's my dream...
I have a son who in prison for a life sentence, regarding a crime we know for fact he did not commit. I dream a lot, and other family members have the same dream that we see him in a hallway with light surrounding him and he is walking toward us smiling, with his hand outstretched. Could someone interpret this dream, since so many people dream the same one?
Dear Dreamer, The dreams suggest that you son may be surrounded by some type of "protective energy," perhaps due to the prayers and concerns of his family members.

Here's my dream...
My fiancé actually had this dream-but he is in Kuwait right now and it gave him a good feeling. I, being the pessimist and worrier that I am, was scared when I heard it, so could you let me know what you think it means? Please? He had fallen asleep in a tent they were in while waiting to go out to training and he had a dream he came into my room that was painted bright blue (which it really is but he said it was a calmer, lighter blue.) and his bed was in my room. I was sleeping on the bed with the blanket pulled up to my middle. I was topless (doesn't surprise me that that was in there.) but he said he did not wake me up. He came over to the bed and gave me a kiss on my cheek and thought, "well at least she can feel this." Then he left or woke up. Is this a bad meaning that I am fearing? Or is it the good meaning? At the time of the dream, I was wide awake at work because it was only 6 pm here in the U.S.
Dear Dreamer, As unusual as this may sound, in all likelihood his dream was an experience in consciousness in which he literally came to a part of your consciousness and kissed you. If you had actually been sleeping at the time, you may have experienced a similar dream. Edgar Cayce suggested that it was possible to meet individuals in higher states of consciousness. The meaning is simply that part of him literally came and visited part of you.

Here's my dream...
I am sorry if this offends anyone, but you are my last hope, I have had this dream a number of times over the last four years. I am now 19. In my dream, I am working at a restaurant. Out of the blue, a package comes for me - delivered by a man with blonde hair. I open it and find a poem on the top that reads: "Dark of terror, dark of fright, all alone on Halloween night, what is in this package is to prepare you for when we meet." I open the rest and find a dead penis. The police are called and I walk out with the police. I black out and I awaken in a bed, being raped by the blonde haired man who delivered the package. I then realize he is a police officer. I later see a coroner's report that I was suffocated. Please help me if you can.
Dear Dreamer, One strong possibility suggested by the dream is that it is a "warning dream" about your experience with men and relationships. A dead male organ could be symbolic of a relationship that is over, and the dream may be suggesting that this person is potentially a threat of some kind to you. Another interpretation is that you may be involved with a strong authoritarian individual who is somehow "choking the life" out of you. In either event, the dreams could be indicating that you need to find somehow to speak with. If you are involved in some kind of abusive relationship, please contact a local woman's shelter. –

Here's my dream...
I don't usually do this kind of thing but I'm at a crossroads in life. I'm kind of hard-pressed to find out what this all means. I should give a little bit of background first. The past 2 years for me have been filled with major growth. Most of my family has died these past 2 years and I divorced about a year and a half ago. Three months ago I had a very brief but vivid dream. There was not a lot to it but in my heart I know it's significant. In this dream all I saw was the back of someone's neck. I lightly touched it and there appeared to be bugs under the skin. They seemed to only wake up when I touched the back of the neck. That was all I saw - no face. About 2 months later, I began seeing someone and I'm sure that the back of his neck is the one I saw in the dream. In the second dream there was what looked like a dragonfly but it more like a flying type of ant. It was lodged in my skin in the genital area. The insect was alive and seemed to be fine. In the dream, I remember wondering why the bug was there and why it was doing so well and most of all why was it on me like a piercing. I do have a background with incest and have worked through the issues of being molested. I have come to believe that insects can mean something related to incest. My gut feeling is that the person I met possibly has been molested in the past and has some issues that he needs to deal with.
Dear Dreamer, Because of your background and some of the personal symbolism you associate with that, your interpretation could be very likely - this individual has incest behind them (e.g. in the past). If this is the case, then the act of you touching his neck and bringing the bugs to life suggests that he has not as successfully dealt with the abuse issue and this problem could be brought back to life in the confines of a close personal relationship. In other words, he may still need help for the issue. Another slight possibility could be that the dream is a warning dream for you, suggesting that you need to be cautious in this relationship. –

Here's my dream...
I have a friend of the opposite sex that has at least twice dreamt of me sexually because I was told about it. The first dream involves the two of us in several public places that we have frequented in which we are passionately kissing each other. The second dream has us at a party that turns into me being naked in a shower. While in the shower I beg my friend to have sex with me, which my friend almost agrees to until I admit in the dream of having had only gay sex, which turns off my friend. The problem is that my friend is married and I have never had gay sex nor am I gay. What could be the reason(s) my friend is having these dreams? Can you or anyone help find the meaning behind this?
Dear Dreamer, Most often individuals in our dreams represent whatever we associate with that person. In other words, the dream probably has absolutely nothing to do with you, and is instead symbolic of whatever your friend thinks of when he thinks of you (especially in terms of his image of your relationships and your sex-life). The dream is not about you, it is about him and you are simply a dream symbol of some aspect of his life. For example, if he thinks you have the "freedom" to do whatever you want and to be with whomever you want, then the dream may suggest that he wishes he could be more like you in terms of his own freedom but is prevented from following that desire because another part of his mind realizes that is inappropriate. Even if your friend has sexual feelings for you, the dream is simply showing him how he is unable to play out those feelings. –

Here's my dream...
I am in Iraq and my wife is at home, and lately we have been having problems. Last night I had a dream that we were making love; it was so intense and felt like the best love making we have ever made, but the weird part was we were spreading butter all over ourselves. We were on the floor and there were towels on the floor. Can you please tell me what this dream means? Thank you for your time.
Dear Dreamer, The Edgar Cayce information would suggest that it is possible to meet a loved one in consciousness. In other words, it is very possible that you are your wife were making love at another level. (It would be interesting for you to find out if she dreamt about you the same night you dreamt about her.) I think the presence of the butter suggests that in spite of the "mess" that you are both in right now, there is still a deep connection and love between the two of you. I hope that helps. –

Here's my dream -
I'm a 21-year-old female and have been having basically the same dream over and over gain. I dream that my current boyfriend is cheating on me. My latest dream is that I dreamed my boyfriend was lying naked with another girl in bed. I knew that they had had sex. Please help me find out what this means. The dreams are really hurting me. –
Dear Dreamer, As you have surmised, one possibility suggested by your dream is that your boyfriend may not be being faithful. However, that is not the only interpretation. From a metaphorical perspective there are at least three more: 1) Perhaps your boyfriend has simply fantasized about being with other woman and you are simply picking up on that in the dream state; 2) There is a possibility that your boyfriend may not be as totally committed to the relationship as you are - even though he has not literally cheated, the dream is just suggesting that he is not as committed; 3) The dream could be suggesting that YOU are not as committed to the relationship as you claim to be. Regardless of which interpretation is closest the correct one, the dream suggests that the two of you need to sit down and talk honestly about your plans for the future with one another. –

Here's my dream -
I submitted these dreams before. I am desperate to find some answers in them, because at this moment it seems that my, now, ex-partner and I are living the conflict part of this dream. Should I play it out or walk away? As background information, when I was 14 years old, I was "in love" with this girl. I tried for several years to win her heart, and when I thought I did, she finally said it was time to give our relationship a second try she changed her mind after three days. This broke my heart. But the strange thing is that during this time I kept having this dream: I fell in love with a Native Woman of my own background. She would be more in touch with our native ways than me, but her family did not really like me, and I was constantly fighting for her. On one occasion I had to fight a man for her. This man was pushed our way by her family, and the fight nearly destroyed me, but in the end I won. In terms of my girlfriend, about two years ago she had the following dream: She was running near the school where she works and the girls are attending. Her family is chasing her, wanting to hurt her. She comes to the fence and sees a man calling her to come to him. She starts to go in and she gets this strange feeling from him. He tries to get her to go into a truck with him, when she notices these black piles around him. She looks close and sees that they are pile of dead crows spiting blood, when she turns to him his eyes change color and she runs again. This time she finds me and the girls. We driving away from that place as fast as we can, around us everything exploding, but she feels safe.
Dear Dreamer, First of all, most dreams simply "contrast and correlate" the events of the day - giving the dreamer another way of looking at situations occurring in waking life at the time of the dream. With this in mind, your dream as a fourteen-year-old probably has more to do with what was occurring in your life back then than it does now. The dream was obviously a past-life dream, presenting the struggle and conflict that was occurring in your life and giving you a rationale explanation for that struggle. Your girlfriend's dream suggests that she would be attracted to someone or something else that eventually would go no where. After that experience, she would return to be with someone he was more compatible with her. If the dream was literal, it suggests she would reconcile with you. If the dream was metaphorical, it suggests that she would get together with someone who embodied what she hoped you were. –

Here's my dream -
I am a seventeen-year-old male and I have a friend and she is also seventeen. We are good friends that chat a lot over the phone and through the Internet. Neither of us is sexually active, and she has made it clear that she only wants to be friends. About a week ago she called me and said she had a dream that we were having sex. That part didn't seem strange but I also had a dream similar to her's the same night as her dream. But my dreams about her didn't stop that night. The two nights after that I had two more about the same thing. However, on the third dream, it showed her moving in with me. I tend to doubt these things will happen, but I would like to see the meaning of this. Is this something that is bound to happen or are we just freaks?
Dear Dreamer, No, you are not freaks; the dreams have a couple of possible meanings. From the perspective of the Edgar Cayce information, it's quite possible to "meet someone" in consciousness in the dream state and interact with that person in a way that would not necessarily occur physically. With this in mind, one possible interpretation of the dreams is that you and your friend became aware of spending time together in consciousness because of a mutual desire at some level. Therefore, the dreams were "real," but they were real in consciousness only. The second interpretation is that the dreams may be somewhat precognitive, and suggest a closer relationship between the two of you. Actually, this interpretation may be the most likely as the dream shows your friend moving in with you - perhaps symbolizing that she will become more interested than simply remaining friends. I hope that helps. –

Here's my dream -
I have been married for 13 years and love my husband deeply. I keep having dreams of trying to have sex with him but right before we can get in to it someone (never the same person, sometimes even strangers) keep interrupting us so that we never get to have sex. Sometimes this happens 4 or 5 times in the same dream.
Dear Dreamer, The dream simply suggests that the demands of your life often seem to take your attention away from your relationship with your husband, and having the opportunity to spend quality time together. If this is the case, I think the dream is suggesting a change in priorities and perhaps even scheduling regular time with your husband so that your relationship does not come behind everything else. –

Here's my dream -
My live-in boyfriend gave me an engagement ring. But it wasn't a diamond; it was big plastic bubble. I didn't feel comfortable and was worrying what everyone would say. We then went to a strange house to see an old man who had diamonds to choose one to put in the ring. I was thinking they weren't very big - not as big as my sister-in-laws, who is my partner's actual sister who is getting married to my actual brother in real life.
Dear Dreamer, One possibility suggested by this dream is a growing sense that you may not be as committed to this relationship as your boyfriend and everyone else around you seems to be. There is also a sense that part of you wants to make this relationship work because everyone else seems to think it is a neat idea to have a couple of siblings marry each other. If this is the case, I think the dream is telling you not to settle for something less than you really want.–

Here's my dream -
I searched thru all of your relationship dreams and found nothing like this one I had last night. I dreamt that my family (Dad, Mom, two brothers, myself and my best male friend) were back in our old high rise apartment. Anyway, we all looked out the window and as far as the eye could see was rushing water, everywhere! A while later, we were all outside and my mom was walking behind my dad and my dad fell on the ground and died...my brothers (who are 25 and 22 respectfully) were now like 3 and 6 years old. They were both sad and looking at me with tears in their eyes. Throughout the entire dream, my best friend kept coming up to me saying, "I am determined to win you" and kisses me! Now, in real life, this would not be a bad thing at all!!! But, in real life, he has told me that he isn't ready for a committed relationship, (there is also a 7 year age difference betwixt us) and lately I have been respecting his stance and have withdrawn from him a bit. Both as a protective thing for my heart and to give him a taste of what life is like minus me. Could you PLEASE tell me what this is about? Also, my dad is leaving for prison soon and has been addicted to crack for the last 20+ years...does that help?
Dear Dreamer, The first part of the dream with the rushing water suggests that all of the activities in your life right now have been a real emotional experience for you. The fact that your father drops down dead suggests that (at least while he is in prison) his presence will be "dead" to the family. Part of his departure may include your brothers becoming very immature and childish because he is no longer around - that is why they appear as children in your dream. Finally, the presence of your male friend suggests that either he may be more committed to you that he has admitted, or the fact that you may be more committed to winning him over than you have admitted, or both. In any event with so much occurring in your life, may God bless you at this time. –

Here's my dream -
I looked thru the archives and didn't see any similar dreams. As background information, my friend is having a very distressing marriage at this time. She is making the moves to escape but it has been very slow going. Her husband is very commanding and domineering yet a weak man that can't think of what to do next without his mother's guidance. She has raised 2 children who he has now turned against her and she feels like she's fighting 3 battles. Anyway, her dream the other night was that she and her husband were driving along the ocean and the farther they went the closer they got to the water. Soon they were in a muddy muck where the car became stuck. She said that her only thought was to escape but couldn't figure out how to get out of the car and across the mud to safety. Yet all the time she was not afraid that she would die. She has had premonitions before and most come true within about two weeks but she doesn't feel that this was a premonition. Can you help?
Dear Dreamer, In all likelihood the dream has two possibilities. One could be that your own feelings of sexuality are being repressed during the day, and therefore they come out at night. If, for example, you are having a difficult time coming to terms with sexual urges and desires, they are apt to come to your awareness while you are sleeping. The other possibility is that someone that you know may be having sexual fantasies about you, and while you are dreaming you are picking up on those thoughts and feelings in the dream state. –

Here's my dream -
I always dream of a man who has sex with me in bed. I had the same dream a couple times already. I can't see his face. At times, I try to ward the man off but eventually I end up in bed with him. It all feels so real. When I wake up I feel extremely guilty about it.

Here's my dream -
I really need your help, I read all the dream archives and I could not find anything similar to mine. Today I was supposed to go out with this nice guy but I canceled because of the dream I had. I'm a 20-year-old girl, who broke up with her boyfriend. I really loved him, and I'm having hard time to move on. We broke up because my mom meet him once and asked him what I was for him and he answered that he wasn't sure and that he didn't know if he felt anything for me. I'm just explaining my situation. This is my dream: I was walking with my mother in the cafeteria of my college and there I saw one of my friends with his ex-girlfriend, he saluted me and asked me who was the lady close to me, I told him my mother, but when I looked at my mom, she didn't have shoes on only a pair of dirty socks and also her clothes were dirty, like she was working in a factory, also her hair was short (she has a long hair), I love my mom and this worries me a lot. Except embarrassment and worried about my mother's appearance, I woke up with this sensation that: I should not meet this guy that I am supposed to meet for a date, maybe there is a chance I can get together with my ex-boyfriend, just the way how I saw my friend with his ex-girlfriend. I felt it in my dream too! Maybe it's not time for me to move on yet. Please I need your help.
Dear Dreamer, There are lots of possibilities here but one likely interpretation is that your mother's appearance in the dream is a reflection of your own personal self-esteem. After all, why would you decide not to go out with a "nice guy" and instead want to go out with someone who says that he isn't sure whether or not he feels anything for you. Two other ways to get at the proper interpretation would be to ask yourself how well your mother and your girlfriend have done with their own personal relationships. If they have not done that well, the dream is indicating that you are following in their "dirty" footsteps. If the self-esteem issue is a problem for you, it might be a better idea to focus on yourself right now rather than guys. Good luck to you. –

Here's my dream -
I am 15 and in 10th grade. For the past two days I have been dreaming of being murdered - stabbed by a kid at my school, who seems to have my friend's boyfriends last name. I don't know what it means? Help me please.
Dear Dreamer, In all likelihood the dream is simply showing you that someone may be saying bad things about you (e.g. stabbing you in the back). Rather than offering any solution to the problem, the dream may simply be a warning to you about being so open (or argumentative) with people like your friend and your friend's boyfriend. –

Here's my dream -
I am a 20-year-old female. A few weeks ago I prayed for a dream to know what to do with my life. I am in a 3-year relationship and I have a son with the man I am with. In my dream, I dreamt that I was with an ex-boyfriend and I was so happy and life was good. The ex I dreamed about has been a friend of mine for seven years. We never really dated but he has always been in my life and I do love him. He is fixing to get married though. Please tell me what my dream means.
Dear Dreamer, Unfortunately, the answer is not an easy one as the dream could have a variety of possible interpretations. If the dream is literal, it might indicate that you need to tell your "friend" how you really feel about him before he gets married, if you sincerely have wondered about having a relationship with him. Conversely, however, a metaphorical interpretation is just as likely. The dream could suggest that you have considered breaking up with your current boyfriend (or have broken up and are now back together), and the "ex" in the dream is really a symbol for him, suggesting that you have the potential to be very happy together. A third possibility might be that you tend to live in the past and think more fondly of days gone by than you felt when you were actually in the midst of them. I think you may need to do some seriously soul-searching about what you really want in life. Good luck to you. –

Here's my dream -
In real life my brother was murdered by his wife on July 7,2004. It was a Wednesday. Last Wednesday night I had a dream that my phone rang and I answered it. It was my brother. I told him he needed to come home now and he said he couldn't that he had been shot and had been away to heal. He asked me how our Mom was doing and I told him that all of us are having a very hard time dealing with his death and that we all love him and miss him dearly. I told him again that he needed to come home where he belongs and he said that he couldn't but that he loves me and to tell the rest of the family that he loves them and misses them also and that he will be talking to me again sometime. I met my Mom for breakfast on the Friday following my dream and I told her that I wanted to tell her about a dream I had the previous Wednesday night, she said that she also had a dream that night. Her dream was that her phone was ringing also and she didn't make it in time to answer it but that she heard my brother's voice on the answering machine, but when she went to hit the replay button she accidentally hit the delete button instead. Now, in her dream my brother called her but she didn't get to talk to him and in my dream he called me also and I did talk to him. Both dreams were phone calls and in my dream I very clearly knew it was my brother. We have always been very close. He was just 30 when he was murdered. The day he died I was at work and I got a excruciating headache, I hardly ever get headaches. The pain was so intense and it came from the back of my head and radiated to the front. I remember looking at the clock to see how long it was before break - the clock said 8:12 am. That night I found out about my brother being killed. I didn't know until 3 days later that his wife had shot him in the back of the head and they estimated the time of the shooting to be around 8:17 that morning. I hope you can put some light on what I have experienced since his death.
Dear Dreamer, I think the dream is at least encouraging you to send a letter or try to make a contact in some way just to let her know how you're doing, how you've changed since you were last together, and how you still feel about her. Let me know what happens. –

Here's my dream -
I am a 24-year-old female and have recently been having a lot of dreams about one of my ex-boyfriends, whom I haven't been with for 4 years. In my dream I am sitting in a park having a picnic with a friend although I cannot see his/her face. I look across the street and there is my ex-boyfriend about to get into an elevator, he turns and sees me and starts to walk towards me. As he gets closer I can see a wedding ring on his finger, it looks very shiny and bright, he looks at the ring, takes it off and hands it to me. The ring has writing on it though I can't make out what it says. I then throw the ring into the middle of the park and my ex-boyfriend just stares at me. It's at this point I wake up. I was hoping you could give me some insight into what this dream means?
Dear Dreamer, A likely interpretation is that someone from your past (not necessarily the boyfriend you dreamed about - although it could be) is going to "run into you." This individual is probably in the process of going through a divorce. The dream may be suggesting that rather than quickly "reacting to" a chance meeting (perhaps, for example, because of anger from the past) you may wish to think through your response ahead of time. In any event, I think the dream is suggesting that a relationship is either coming back into your life or experiencing some kind of renewal in your life. –

Here's my dream -
I have been with my boyfriend for over 2 years now. I am 28 and feeling eager to be married and start a family before I am 30. I know he wants to marry me but he is saving up for the ring. I have recently been dreaming that he has given me an engagement ring. It starts out looking nice, but then when I look at it later there are missing diamonds. In the last dream I had it went from a nice ring to practically a bubble gum ring. What does this mean please?
Dear Dreamer, There are a couple of likely possibilities. One is that the longer you are involved in this relationship, the less valuable it has become for you. In other words, you may be having second thoughts about getting married. Alternatively, a completely different interpretation is that the longer you wait, the less important the financial aspects of the ring are and instead you are simply willing to have fun and follow through with your plans. I hope that helps. –

Here's my dream -
I am a 22-year-old female who is in a bind. I left my husband in November of 2003. At the time we lived with his parents and when I left it hurt him and me badly. Along the way we decided to divorce. Well in my dream last night I dreamt that we were back at his parents house and I had my two boys with me. He began to say that he still loved me and wanted to work things out. This girl whom I presumed was his girlfriend (I don't know if he has one) was there and it made me angry and I told her that he and I were getting back together. I then turned around and told my boys: "Look, there's daddy." (They have yet to talk to him or see him since we left.) My little one was confused and said, "No it's not." I
